A second way to create an improvised seat harness with the ARS Multi-Loop Rescue Strap! Pass one end handle through the other making a six/girth hitch. Step through the loop of the six with one leg, making sure the end loop forming the six is pointing towards your back. Pull up behind your back while passing the remaining end loop through the first available mid-line loop in the front. Connect to a DCD and off you go!

Santa Cruz, California - At approximately 2:20 PM the Santa Cruz Fire Department and California State Park Rangers were alerted to a surfer in trouble near the famed Steamer Lane area of the Santa Cruz shoreline. Due to an offshore storm, the surf is very high in Santa Cruz and surrounding areas, with swells of up to 40 feet in height. Additionally, the angle that the waves are coming into the Monterey Bay is creating very dangerous "sidewave" action, where the swells deflect off of the shore in some areas and meet the incoming surf at an angle, causing very unpredictable and dangerous currents that can easily knock a surfer off of their board. When SCFD Lifeguards arrived on scene they found a surfer that had become tired, and was getting pounded hard by the surf. It is unknown to Dash10 whether or not the surfer was able to return to shore under his own power, or whether he was assisted to shore by lifeguards. The first clip in this video is of the Santa Cruz FD Lifeguard Vessel (LV) jet ski training near the Municipal Wharf.
Units assigned: B3103, E3110, T3170, L3168, L3165, LV31?? And state park lifeguards. #rescue#waterrescue#surfer#firedepartment#firefighter#firetruck#fireengine#firerescue#parkranger#stringer#stringing#dash10media#santacruz#california
